Simple Truths of Life

An excerpt from Simple Truths of Life by Linda Ellis

There is an unspoken balance time has clearly explained between what I've lost over the years and all that I have gained... Every trait that I surrender as I slowly "lose" my youth is replaced with a life's lesson; traded for... a Simple Truth. I am the product of my years; they have created what is me. And every day that I have lived has made me who I want to be. Each person I have known or loved is a part of who I am today. Each left me something in my life; each helped me find my way. I've heard it said, "If I knew then everything that I know now..." But we are taught at the proven pace that time...and life...will both allow. These truths I've learned from things I've done and places that I have been... what I'd give to take them back with me and live my life again.
